Even if you\u2019re not vain, you probably look in a mirror at least twice every day. They are part of our culture and our lives. Mirrors\u00a0<\/a><\/strong> were once rare and costly and, therefore, coveted. In our day, however, they are common and considered a basic for every home.

Imagine a pair of mirrors<\/strong> at either end of a long, dim hall or stairwell. Place them to catch and reflect the light from each end and see if it doesn\u2019t brighten up that dark space.<\/p>\n
